Would you recommend getting a double stroller for newborn and 2.5 year old?

Currently 30 weeks pregnant and wondering if it’s worth investing in a double stroller? My 2.5 year old still regularly uses her pram when we go for walks or to the markets/fairs/theme parks etc. What are your thoughts? X

I would get one with the little bench! Or like small extra seat, but that was what would’ve worked for us as my little preferred walking around than being in a stroller and only wanted to sit if she got a little tired but it was rare

I got a tandem (didn't want them poking each other side by side 🤣) and I put miles on that thing. I almost wish it had an odometer, haha. By the end, I stopped walking on sidewalks to preserve the suspension. 😂 We walked every day for almost 2 years. They napped. I packed snacks. My daughter read books. I even draped a scooter across the top after my daughter was too tired to ride it. It's great. 10/10 recommend, haha.

I have the same age gap. I’ve just continued the pram for my son and then had my baby in the carrier. If we’re stopped somewhere then I’ve laid the seat flat and popped baby down on that. Once she’s old enough to sit in a stroller then they’ll share the pram as my son is now 3 and much more interested in going on his balance bike or walking than being pushed, but I’ll always have the baby carrier with us to swap if needed.

Buggy board. I only had one kid and I still had a buggy board 😂 choices for him for when he didn’t wanna sit in the pram, or when he’s out w his buddies and one of them wants to sit in the buggy.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
